AngieFitnessTV: Rebounder Cardio Fit Body Bar Sculpt

Rebounder Cardio Fit Body Bar Sculpt is another one of AngieFitnessTV’s feel good workouts. I really enjoyed it. I used it as a doubles work (second workout of the day at the end of my workday) and it was a nice way to end my day. The first half of this workout is done on the rebounder and the second half on the floor. The floor work is barefoot light sculpting using a body bar. Normally I cannot go barefoot even when other trainers do because of my bum feet, but Angie creates true barefoot workouts. No jumping or awkward moves to hurt my bad feet so I was able to wear my yoga socks for the entire workout. This workout was filmed live and there is a video snafu at the very end during the stretch. The camera freezes during cat/cow but the audio continues. Angie cues well and I would not have even known had I not glanced up briefly, just to see how fast she was doing her cat/cow. But follow her cuing and you’re fine. It doesn’t last long. She finishes the stretch then shares her stats from the workout. She burned 241 calories and “walked” 2915 steps. I burned 238 calories, “walked” 1974 steps and was in my cardio zone 57% of the workout. How did she get 1000 more steps than me? Weird, huh? I am able to keep time with her on rebounder so I’m not bouncing less. She wears an Apple watch and I wear a FitBit so maybe they count steps differently.

Rebounder Cardio Fit Body Bar Sculpt is 39:30 minutes; 1 minute intro, 3 minute warm up, 16 minutes of rebounding and 3:30 minute stretch. The last minute is Angie talking so this workout is actually 37:30 (minus intro and talking at the end). Equipment: rebounder, light hand weights (Angie is using 2 pound hand weights), pilates or playground ball and body bar (Angie is using an 8 pound body bar). The warm up is on the rebounder with the pilates ball between your thighs. Each exercise is done for 1 minute. I wore my 10 pound vest and used my 9 pound body bar.
